WHERE ARE THE SUITABLE TREATMENT AREAS?

Suitable treatment areas for Botox include the forehead, eyebrows, frown lines, corner of the eyes (crow’s feet), nose bridge (bunny lines), and around the mouth, jawline, chin, neck, and armpits (for sweat control).

WHAT HAPPENS DURING A TREATMENT?

The treatment area is first numbed with ice or cream. Then, Botox is injected into the target area. The whole procedure takes 10-30 minutes.
